Happy Birthday, Maureen

This is the scarf that I gave to Darrin's mom for her birthday on February 26th. Sorry, readers, I kinda fell a little behind with things since the move. So, this is the scarf that I made out of Lion Brand Fun Fur for Maureen.

Crystal Pouches for Darrin's mom, Maureen

Yes, for those of you who don't know yet, I left Andrew in February. My new boyfriend is named Darrin. We have been dating since February 2008 (well, sharing a house since then...since I lived with Andrew I had to move SOMEWHERE!). Darrin's mom and I have a lot in common. One thing being that we are both really into crystal healing. I decided to make her a couple of pouches to carry some of her crystals with her when she goes somewhere. She loved them so much I had to give her the pattern because she wanted to make some of her own! These are made of Lion Brand Sensations Worsted Weight Chenielle Yarn and the beads were some that were in my stash of beads...I think I got them at Michaels a few years back.

Felted Clogs

I made one pair for Christmas and one for a birthday. I still have to make a pair for myself...why is it that we knitters a lot of times make things for others but neglect ourselves?

This is one pair before felting....

...and after felting...

...and this was the other pair before felting...

Decided that I should finally post Christmas

I guess that I am just a little last with this post...LOL!! I made kitchen sets this year for Christmas. This is one of them. There were 16, I decided that to post all of them would just be absolute overkill!

Happy Birthday to my sweetie!!

For holidays and birthdays, Andrew and I usually give each other things for the house that we will use together. This year, I gave him things that will match our kitchen.

I made him towel toppers for these grape towels.


I made him pear, apple, and grapes dishcloths. The designs really don't show up too well in these photos, but trust me they are pear, apple and grapes.

...and I also made him plain dishcloths to match the pear, apple and grape ones.

I made something to brighten someone's day.

I have a friend who had a rough September. She had a lot of things go wrong in her life in one month. I made her these and sent her some of my handmade soaps and lotions to brighten her day.

So...I actually sold a few things...

I had some people ask me to make them some things so they could buy them from me. I had a woman from one of my knitting groups to make her some stitch markers. These are the stitch markers that I made for her.


I also had a woman ask Andrew's sister's mother-in-law, Stella where she got her scarf. She told the woman that I had made it for her for Christmas. The woman gave Stella her phone number and asked her to give it to me. She requested that I make her the same scarf that I made for Stella. And this is the scarf. It is made out of Lion Brand Fancy Fur on Size 13 needles.
